Dear Y-ECCO Friends,

After a 2020 that ended up being all about COVID-19, let’s hope that 2021 will be a normal year where we can meet and network again and put COVID behind us. I recently got my first shot of the vaccination, which was a wonderful experience of what science is capable of in times of need. In Denmark we’ve started vaccinating our IBD patients but vaccine scepticism and uncertainties about the evidence is everywhere and we as physicians are needed more than ever to inform our patients.

Going into 2021, I’m sure that we will have a wonderful virtual ECCO Congress in summer. If any good has come from the pandemic, it is that we have learnt to connect online in new ways, and I’m sure it will be a success.

Meanwhile, please enjoy our excellent literature reviews and the Y-ECCO Interview. We always welcome new contributions, don’t hesitate to get in touch if you want to participate in these activities yourself.

Best wishes and stay safe,

Johan Burisch
